What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
About our ductwork cleaning in Didling
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. Typical jobs include heavy grease at the base of a riser and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across access panels, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
Somewhere as small as Didling, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Didling kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Didling falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. At about 48 miles from central London, Didling sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Didling (Uppark is about 3.7 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Didling, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Didling is about 6 miles south-east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We carry out ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Didling and the rest of West Sussex. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, and Didling is one of them. We also work in Portsmouth, about 16 miles from Didling.

When to call us in Didling
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Midhurst Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Didling, about 3.9 miles north-east.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Didling
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
If you need ductwork cleaning in Didling, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep to the interval on the report
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Didling questions
Can you work in Didling outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Didling does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Didling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Didling, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
